The Foreign Report

The Foreign Report from Last Podcast Network dives into the wildest corners of global politics with sharp analysis and pitch-black humor. Each week, producer, comedian, and lawyer Seena Ghaznavi teams up with a rotating crew of journalists, experts, and policy nerds to unpack the stories shaping our world, from power struggles and propaganda wars to strange moments of competitive authoritarianism and beyond. Expect smart, irreverent commentary that cuts through official narratives, explains why today’s headlines actually matter, and still finds room to laugh at the absurdity of it all. Whether you obsess over international news or just want someone to translate the chaos into something you can argue about with friends, this podcast has you covered. Hit play, listen episodes that challenge your assumptions, and stay just informed enough to worry productively.

***Please go to our YouTube channel for a special segment on Charlie Kirk*** On this week’s show, Seena and Travis dig into our self-proclaimed president of peace embracing war of all kinds - renaming departments, killing foreign citizens on the open seas, and rubber-stamping every Israeli bomb. They check in on the violence in Nepal, the insanity of Israel’s decision to attack Qatar, and NATO taking a stand against Russian drones. And, of course, they revel in the Rand Paul / JD Vance social media spat.
